iirc in ambush in Niger 2017, one of the soldiers had their vest, helmet, boots, and guns looted off him when they found his body.
Where does the gear go?
I've never seen any pictures that were obvious it was looted
Pictures of soldiers with looted weapons?

There is a Twitter account in Afghanistan that shows various guns of dubious origin for sale on their version of Craigslist.

They recovered some of the equipment and the vehicle afterwards. And no, the vehicle wasn't disabled, the insurgents drove off with it after the ambush

Anyone can be temporarily inconvenienced. USA was so short on weapons immediately after Pearl Harbour that they bought 600 000 toy rifles for boot camp training. Imagine being a Marine being deployed fight the japs in 1942 without actually having fired a shot first.
This is a very rare one

Absolutely no idea where he could have got it

So Life made this special about 'the astounding war' that started with the Israelis sinking the US Liberty? Or does it refer to a different war?
why are Jow Forumstards so bad at history?

It warms my heart watching Turks get slaughtered like livestock

Background?
Russo-Georgian War back in 2008
USMC Humvees that they used in Georgia. They GTFO when the war started and left them behind. Russians captured and took them away and confiscated them as war trophies.
Also...
>The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported that the captured equipment included Global Positioning System equipment used in weapons targeting, identification, friend-or-foe electronic gear and classified radio and reconnaissance equipment.
tavor?
Interesting
I wonder how many rifles have been lost in firefights. When you think of the thousands and thousands of wounded, there must have been times when a weapon was left behind.
>going to walmart after dark
Many. I think it's even more depressing to think about small arms straight up destroyed in firefights - which is a nontrivial possibility, considering that you're usually pointing a gun at someone who's shooting at you, then you weapon catches a bullet in the furniture or action. If hit by a grenade or IED or other explosives, you and probably your weapon are toast.
Boss fight
I remember the PK-01VS optic (AA battery powered, roughly 6 months of runtime per TXZen's testing on Arfcom) was incredibly sought after and scarce at the time of this photo's publication; now you can get it everywhere on eBay and AKFiles.
>Imagine being a Marine being deployed fight the japs in 1942 without actually having fired a shot first.
Impossible.
Are these Syrian Kurds vs. Turks or what?
Poor guy.
Imma gonna kill every single one who doesn't treat him well.
Rip doggo
Well that's an emotional kick to the dick

Italians with thompsons

If they were 12 year old, they'd be 30 now. I was 10 myself. If I could change anything, it would be never discovering this place or internet forums in general.

Interesting, I wonder why the barrel is so long
yeah, its Kurdish rebels vs Turks.

is it restricted to just firearms?
Here is a Huey operated by Vietnam in 2007
That's a member of the Japanese Red Army, not VC. As such that LAW isn't really looted.

That's clearly in the middle of the day. So he probably lives in Detroit.
Ine heck of a shotgun.
A shitty LMG still beats your 91/30 in firepower.
The US heavily supplied Garands to the Iranians pre-revolution; most likely how it made its way across the border into Iraq or Afghanistan.
Looks like he doesn't have the magazine in properly; wonder if he tried to slot it in into the rifle before saying "fuck it" and just having the photo taken.
Classy.
This reminds me, supposedly the Iranian navy still uses pave lows captured in operation eagle claw for pilot training.
Serbian infantrymen in WW1 armed with Turkish Mauser Model 1890s captured during the First Balkan War.
A Belgian soldier on the Western Front with a captured Turkish Mauser Model 1893. Belgians got captured Turkish Mausers from the British because both Belgium and Ottoman Empire used the same rifle caliber (7.65x53mm).
German Kriegsmarine sailors with Norwegian Model 1894 Krag-Jorgensens.
Kaiserliche Marine sailors with ex-Russian Mosin-Nagant Model 1891 infantry rifles with ersatz bayonets.
you just know the bayonets were not the only things getting crossed
no, this is not how this mortar is supposed to be used
Even then, it looks to me like it's a couple inches longer than it should. Probably my eyes playing tricks on me
